Is it harmful to go to the gym half an hour after dinner?
Do some intense exercise in the gym one to two hours after meals.

Exercise after meals should be scientific. If you want to take a walk, it is recommended to rest for at least 10 minutes after meals. If you are full, you need to extend your rest time appropriately. Walking after meals should be slow, and the walking speed should be controlled at about 30 steps per minute.

Other exercise depends on intensity, such as light exercise such as Tai Ji Chuan, which is carried out half an hour to one hour after meals; Moderate exercise such as jogging, weight-loss exercises and cycling can be carried out one to two hours after meals; High-intensity sports such as long-distance running, skipping rope, playing football and basketball should be carried out two to three hours after meals.

Extended data:

In terms of digestive physiological function, the stomach is full after meals, so it is necessary to ensure that there is enough blood supply in the gastrointestinal tract for preliminary digestion. Some people feel full and want to go for a walk to help digestion, but the feeling of "full" is just that their stomachs feel full, but the nutrition has not been absorbed into their bodies, and their bodies are still in a state of "hunger".

As a result of a short meal of more than ten minutes, the food was too late to be digested, let alone absorbed. And after proper rest, the gastrointestinal tract can get more blood supply. If you get up and leave in a hurry at this time, some blood will be concentrated in the motor system, which will delay the secretion of digestive juice and easily induce functional dyspepsia.
